Gone Girl Director David Fincher Admitted He Would Be ‘Suspicious’ If He Was Ben Affleck’s Wife Before The Actor Announced Divorce
Ever since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced their divorce, there’s been more speculation than we’ve had hot dinners about exactly why they split.
Now, a secret nugget has been found in last year’s Gone Girl DVD director’s commentary, in which the David Fincher, the film’s director, says he would be ‘suspicious’ if he was Ben’s wife.

According to the New York Daily News, the director speaks about the 42-year-old leading actor, who plays plays a cheating husband, the number one suspect after his wife goes missing.
David says creating fictional conversations and hiding his character’s affair was “something that Ben is extraordinarily good at, when he has to cook up a phone conversation, when has to hear somebody on the other end of the phone.“
He then said, in jest: “If I was his wife, I think I would be very suspicious, always, of whoever just called because he has a real gift at being able to insinuate a conversation.”

He goes on to add: “…He has to do these things in the foreground where he takes out his phone and looks at it and he puts it away so his sister doesn’t see it.
“There are people who do that and it’s too pointed. But Ben is very, very subtle and there’s a kind of indirectness to the way he can do those things.
“Probably because he’s so duplicitous.”
Ben and 43-year-old Jen announced their divorce in a statement last week, saying: “After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce.
“We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time.”
